Grow Your Business with Inbound Marketing

The reality is you likely work hard for every customer you get to that point of the sale. But what if that hard work really involved laying the ground work so that over time, those customers really do fall into your lap? With inbound marketing, you can lay that groundwork to establish your business as a resource, as a wealth of information and the right solution to your target market’s needs. And while it takes some work, it does not require the outlay of cash that many other marketing strategies take, such as massive ad campaigns. In traditional marketing, you send your message out to the masses. And hopefully, it gets to your target market and that target market responds. With inbound marketing, you are still sending a message out, but it’s less intrusive and much more authentic. Think about it: when you go to a party, do you want to seek out all the cool kids and chat them up, hoping they will like you? Or would you like to be the cool kid and have everyone come to you?

The Marketing and Sales Alignment Playbook

whitePaper | September 30, 2022

Alignment between marketing and sales is a top priority at most organizations. After all, the more marketing and sales teams are aligned, the better the results. When marketing and sales are in sync, teams see increased revenue, improved customer retention, increased renewals, and better win rates. Despite the fact that teams want alignment, many struggle to achieve it. That’s, in part, because gaining alignment isn’t easy. If your company is already performing well, it may be tempting to continue on upholding the status quo—making sales through reputation or referrals. If your company is underperforming, it may be overwhelming to address issues with alignment. In either case, getting aligned is essential.
